Clutch Masters 15-18 Volkswagen Golf 1.8T 5-Speed FX400 6-Puck Clutch Kit - 415ft/lbs Torque

The Clutch Masters FX400 6-puck clutch kit is built with a rigid, sprung 6-puck disc, designed to handle significant torque increases. This kit is specifically engineered for the 2014-2017 Volkswagen Passat with the 1.8T engine and 5-speed manual transmission. It's a solid option when you need a clutch that can hold more power than the stock unit, making it suitable for modified vehicles or those that see harder use.

This particular FX400 kit is rated to hold up to 415 ft-lbs of torque, which is a notable increase over the factory clutch's capacity. The 6-puck design offers a more aggressive engagement compared to a multi-plate or organic disc, meaning you'll feel a firmer grab when you release the pedal. While this can make daily driving a bit more engaging, it ensures power is transferred efficiently without slipping under load. The kit includes the necessary components for a complete clutch replacement, ensuring a proper installation when paired with a new flywheel.

When installing a clutch kit like this, it's always recommended to replace your flywheel or have your existing one resurfaced to ensure optimal performance and longevity. This Clutch Masters kit is a well-built choice for Passat owners looking to upgrade their drivetrain's holding capacity.
